Bonnaroo: Music, art and light

Scott Walker June 10, 2017

Music, art and light – all forms of energy that give you distinct feelings of freedom in a way that just words fail to give.

When I photograph at night I don't use a flash because of a fear that it would distort the light that I see. The reds at a concert, the light strings that someone swings around, the glow sticks tied to a persons body to show that he or she is in the moment, etc. 

Bono of the group U2 was performing and those in attendance were in their own worlds taking on the feel that the music was introducing into their bodies. Some people were uniting together with smiles, some were crying while others were dancing with light.

During an interview that took place over 18 years ago, Bono told a reporter, “Music can change the world because it can change people.”

Bonnaroo 2017: "Hey! Take our picture!"

Scott Walker June 10, 2017

I guess what I enjoy about Bonnaroo more than the entertainers is the excitement in the air. The trusting of everyone. The total strangers greeting other strangers. 

This couple, and I have no idea if they knew one another prior to the concerts, said to me, "Hey, take our picture!!" With the click of a shutter the moment was frozen in time with a massive techno concert in the background.

Russ the Rapper at Bonnaroo 2017

Scott Walker June 10, 2017

Bonnaroo is such an interesting place to visit. 

While so many photographers were fixed on the entertainers, I was more curious as to the fans reacting to the entertainers at 2 in the morning. 

I shot this photo while looking into the crowd from the photo pit area as "Russ" the rapper came out. The 24 year old from New Jersey had the crowds attention. 

Russ gained his popularity thanks to the Soundcloud page where he was played more than 40 million times. 

Mr. Russ the rapper below...

Her son is missing

Scott Walker January 16, 2017

Charlene Toro reported to Manchester, TN Police that her son went missing this past November. Justin Edward Zeigler is 27 years old and authorities in Coffee County told Mrs. Toro that there has been no activity on her sons cellphone since November, Needless to say, she fears the worst.

Justin was known to use inhalants from spray cans, which is one reason why his mother fears that he could be deceased. However, he was described as a good guy who simply had a bad habit, as many of us do.

For more on this story, see the WGNSradio.com website. I also did an interview with her that can be heard on the WGNS site.
